About Consuming Credits

The amount of credits that is used for your text recognition depends on the material you want to process. With Transkribus you can process handwritten material but also printed material (newspapers, typewriter etc.). 

You can spend the credits on whatever combination you would like. You do not have to use all the credits on just one of the options. With the calculator on the right you can calculate how many credits you would need for your project.

Important to know

Everything but text recognition proper is free of charge in Transkribus.

Credits are only needed for Text Recognition. You get 500 free credits upon signup.

Credit consumption is based on the Material (Handwritten or Printed)

We are a cooperative society, all funds go directly into maintaining and further developing the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Models in Transkribus are automatically classified as handwritten or printed models after training based on the material the model was trained with. This is not true for models that were trained befor September 2022. If you want to use one of those models and think that this models is suitable for being classified as “print” model please write us an email to switch it to “print”.  Once you use a “print” model for your text recogntion, the recognition will automatically consume less credits as for a handwritten page. 

You can pay using PayPal, Creditcard (via Stripe) or bank transfer.

Everything about the management of credits you find below. 

If you buy a credit package as a subscription and not a one-time order, this means that you will be billed automatically for the same amount the following year, too. In exchange, you get a discount. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time without any direct consequences, but we encourage you not to exploit this by cancelling before the second year just to get cheaper credits. We may discontinue this offer if there is too much exploitation. It will only work if everybody plays fair. 

No: training, layout analysis, using Transkribus for manually transcribing, etc. – i.e., everything but text recognition proper remains free of charge.

We offer two types of packages, non-sharable (120 & 500) and shareable (more than 500).

Not sharable packages: 

  • Can be bought once per month
  • Only applicable to one “collection”
  • Can be used with any “engine”

Shareable Packages: 

  • Can be bought as often as you like
  • Shareable with any “collection”
  • Can be used with any “engine”

For larger Project we also offer custom packages: 

  • Custom credits package
  • For large projects and institutions
  • Can be used with any “engine”

We have a simple solution for this: all credits but the “120” and “500” packages that are bought in the online shop can be shared with other Transkribus users. This means that a representative of an institution can buy a large amount of credits and thus make the most of our quantity discounts for larger packages and later distribute them among the users at their institution who need credits.

Transkribus Scholarship Programme

The support of future scholars is one of our core values. Therefore, we offer the Transkribus studentship programme. You can get free credit packages for Transkribus handwritten text recognition for your project.

Sections of the credit manager

Balance selection

On the top of the credit manager you can select the credit balance you want to see. You cen either see your personal credit balance or the credit balance of collections you are a member of. 

 

Credit Package Information

Credit balance

Based on the balance you selected, on the left you can see the overall credits balance i.e. the total of all credits that you have available in your personal or collection credit balance. You can See how many credits are shareable and non-shareable as well as how many pages you can process with the remaining credits (per engine and type of writing).

Credit Package Information

Transaction history

On the right you can see the transaction history of your personal or of a collection balance. Here you can see every transaction that added or deducted credits from your personal account balance or from the collection balance you are viewing. Furthermore you can return credits that you have shared with this collection to your personal account balance (but only those that you have shared with the collection).

Credit Package Information

Share credits

Not all credits are sharable. With the packages “120” and “500”, we offer more affordable but at the same time limited packages. They can only be bought once a month and cannot be shared. Larger packages come with full sharing functionality and do not have a monthly buying limit.

In case you have “shareable” credit packages, you can authorize other users to use them for recognition jobs.
Therefore, the users must be added to the respective collection with a role that allows them to start recognition jobs, e.g. “Transcriber” (see also How To Transcribe Documents with Transkribus on how to manage users in collections).

Sharing manager

The sharing manager lets you easily share personal credits that you have purchased with other collections. Once you have shared credits with a collection, every member of this collection can use these credits for text recognition jobs in the collection. In case you have shared credits and you want to take them back, just open the credit balance of the collection and return the credits to your personal balance with the slider above the transaction history. 

Credit Package Information

Order of Credit Package Consumption

The order in which credits are deducted from packages is as follows:

  1. When a recognition job is started in a collection, credits assigend to this collection are always used first
  2. If there are no credits assigned to the collection or the balance is 0, credits are deducted from the personal credit packages of the user that has started the recognition job

Note: Expiring credits are always used first within the respective level (collection or personal).
